MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT:
Rotary has risen to so many challenges in its 112 years. We've
answered conflict with peace, and poverty with education. We've
responded to a lack of basic health care with projects large and
small, from equipping clinics in tiny villages to eradicating polio
across the globe. As all Rotarians across the globe would believe
and say with absolute faith and complete confidence, that the
world is a far, far better place now than it would have been
without Rotary and that Rotary itself is stronger because of every
one of us. The world needs Rotary more than ever. It needs our
courage, our optimism, and our idealism. It needs the voice of
tolerance, cooperation, and hope that we can offer. It needs the
example of an organization that has proven that the citizens of all
countries can work together successfully, gladly, and in friendship.
We continue with our planning of events covering various avenues
- vocational, community, fellowship and participating in district
events. We need your participation in the events and engagement
in the projects, club is yours, if you need a change, please step in
and make it happen!!
Wish you happiness and great times always!
Warmest wishes
Nishu Jouhari
President RY 2016-17.
